Oregon Symphonic Band
MUS 395/695
Timothy Paul, conductor
The Oregon Symphonic Band (OSB), an organization of approximately
60 musicians, is selected by audition. Although many members are
music majors, students studying in other areas often qualify for
this ensemble. The OSB, which performs traditional and contemporary
works for the wind band medium, enjoys a fine reputation as a
group committed to the highest musical standards. Recent performances
have included First Suite in E-flat, Incantation
and Dance, Profanation, A Movement for Rosa, and Baron Cimetière's
Mambo.
During the fall quarter, the OSB meets on Tuesday and Thursday
(to help accommodate Oregon Marching Band members). During the
winter and spring quarters, rehearsals are held on Monday and
Wednesday.
Auditions
The information listed below is for all wind
auditions (Orchestra, Wind Ensemble, & Symphonic Band).
Please prepare the following:
1. Two musical selections, each
approximately one minute in length. One of the selections should
be lyrical in nature and should demonstrate expressiveness;
the other selection should demonstrate the player's technical
and rhythmic skills.
2. The audition will also include some
sight reading.
3. In some cases, there may be a few additional
materials to prepare. If that is the case, these materials will
be posted during the Week of Welcome.
For
audition dates and other questions, please contact Timothy
Paul at paulta@uoregon.edu.
